No, I think it’s just that standards were a bit more lax then about what constitutes good haiku. Everyone’s upped their game since about the mid 90s, as English-language haiku poets got more exposed to 20th-century Japanese haiku, and as more objectivist, surrealist, and experimental tendencies began to be celebrated. There was this collective realization that haiku could be way more challenging than most of us had assumed.
